On Sunday afternoon, near Nears
vile, four boys whose ages range
from ten to fifteen years, went TO battle.
On the opposite side of the river
crowd of men and boys on raft were
firing pistols and rifles up and down
the river. The lads undressed and en-
tered tue water. They had been there
but few moments when the firing
became promiscuous, and Elmore
Green, one of the party, shouted to the
crowd on the other side to be more
careful. The request was not needed,
and Noah Cantrell, aged ten years,
began to curse the crowd. Shots we're
now aimed at the boys, and bullets
whistled about their heads. Three of
them ran to the bank and lay down
behind large log; the fourth stayed
near the bank, hidden behind small
raft. Fully twenty shots were fired
al them, some of which struck the
bank a few feet from them.
Noah Cantrell, cramped from re-
naming in one position, raised his
head above the log and fell back. A
bullet had struck him squarely in the
center of the forehead The firing
continued, One of his comrads shout
ed that one of the boys had already
been shot, and for Gods sake to quit
shooting. The reply came back over
the water:
"D-n you, we will kill another"
And thirteen more shots were
counted before the fusilade ended.
Meanwhile the wounded boy had be-
come senseless and motionless. Three
men rowed over in a skiff from the
raft, and he was carried to his home.
The ball penetrated the brain.

This Takes the ERrth-A Smart

A story comes to me that for fl md
ishEess and innate devlltry has seldom
been equaled in the annals OF revenge

a small boy, not more than ten years
Of sge, whose indulgent mother keeps
him we'll supplied with pocket money.
I his young man opened an account
with the local eaviuRs bank some time
ago and on the LIST OF April he bad en-
deposit there about S35. Two or Tires
DAYS later he had falling out with
the teller Of the institution. For near
ly week he tried to think up some
method for settling tie score, and at
laet he hit upon plan that would have
done credit to a ComBnche Indian
He went TO the bank and drew out $50
from his store; then he went over to the
Treasury building, which is just across
the street, and had his three items"
converted into thirty "ones." Next he
proceeded to make out thirty deposit
slips, each one for 81. These he car
led 10 the bank, one at time, COM
peling the poor teller to make thirty
separate entries in his booke. The
following day this::ssyoun0 fend again
drew out $50. Again he visited the
treasury, but this time he had his
money changed into silver quarters,
bright from the mint. One hundred
and thirty deposit tickets were then
prepared, and q corresponding mum
Der Of entries had to be made in that
unfortunate teller's big books. Then
for three days an srmistice was de-
clared, but at the end OF that time $50
was again drawn out, and this time
when the boy visited the treasury
building it was dimes that he wanted.
The regulation deposit slips were pre-.
pared once more, and the teller gritted
his teeth when he saw that he was

There are Knights Of Labor in
Washington who say their Grand
Msster Workman, Mr.. Powderly, will
either be deposed or viii resign his
position when the General Assembly
meets at Minneapolis this fall, and
that he will ally bimself with one Of
the old political parties and be poll
tician. Mr.. Powderly's determine.
ton to weed out the anarchists and
bomb throwers ircm the order, they
sly, is dong him violence, and his
efforts to moderate he use OF the hoy
colt will cause his departure for other
fields of labor. Mr.. Powderly's name
has been mentioned with the second
place on the labor ticket should Mr..
George be the labor candidate for the
Presidency, but the Knights here, and
they are experienced politician, de-
clare this will never be, as Mr.. Pow
Derby is opposed to running an inde-
pendent ticket, and he is from the
East, aud the two candidates ought
not TO come from one section OF coun.
try. The significant point in this all
is the probable retirement Of Mr..
Powderly from the head OF the orRani'
cation. 1t means a more violent tenn

years.
Congress in it's stintipg way has
failed or refused to provide for this re-

up heavy deficiency. There is no
money worth mentioning for leasing
buildings for offices Of the second

that very many buildings will be
